VIDEO: Cabdrivers brawl, fight on Wacker Drive
Two taxi drivers risked their lives while fighting in the middle of a busy downtown Chicago street.
The altercation occurred at the bustling intersection of North State Street and East Wacker Drive, during the height of rush hour.
One cabdriver was curled up in the fetal position on the ground, while the other driver slapped him around like a Raggedy Andy doll.
Traffic snaked around the dueling opponents, as stunned eyewitnesses stared in disbelief.
In the end, both men drove away like nothing happened.

ReplyDeleteNo offense, but I would say that you are exaggerating just a bit.
This appears to be a fairly typical stalled out ground fighting situation where neither participant could make any real progress.
They're considered "professionals" according to many.
ReplyDeleteI SWEAR TO GOD THIS CITY IS FULL OF CRAZY PEOPLE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like they were practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu on the street. LOL
ReplyDelete@Anonymous#3,
ReplyDeleteYep, and they're walking/stalking on a sidewalk near you and me. There must be something in the water..LOL
I think he made his point. sometimes, there is no other way!! They will prob see each othr again, and maybe give each other another Smack!!
ReplyDeleteyounger people however, think nothing of kicking people once they are down...animals around us everywhere.
A smack down in the middle of the day on a busy street...WOW....shocking...NOT! Where the hell were the cops when these "boys" were trying out for the WWE?
ReplyDeleteIt's official, there truly is something in the water making people turn into animals. Bet it's all those prescription drugs being flushed down the sinks/toilets...LOL
that was about the most pathetic fight i've ever seen. it can't even be called a fight. and people wonder why I hate cabbies.
ReplyDeletelame...agree with you ed. although in this liberal wasteland of a city, there is no violence, no guns, and no savages roaming around so this is quite "shocking" for most sheeple here. It did happen in the "safe" part of town
